A team led by Bank of America strategist Hartnett wrote in a report that global equity funds have attracted record-breaking capital inflows this year, with equity exposure surging significantly. On an annualized basis, $1.4 trillion has flowed into global funds.
Among these, U.S. equity funds attracted $656 billion, technology stocks drew $222 billion, and South Korean stocks attracted $78 billion.
They stated that these inflows provide impressive support for the stock market, but also indicate that despite many investors having a bearish sentiment at present, very few are actually shorting or underweighting equities with real capital.
Hartnett wrote that over the past six months, risk assets have struggled due to the collision between bullish positioning and policy tightening.
These strategists remain in a defensive stance until rate hikes end and financial conditions ease. They believe this situation will only occur if U.S. crude oil prices fall below $70 per barrel, the U.S. dollar reverses its recent gains, and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds drops below 4.5%.
